And I'm pretty sure Rick Hendrick is going to get it... He's sitting there with a Corvette hat on.....

Yeah he'll probably get it. I'd be so intimidated bidding against that guy.

1million to Hendrick

1million to Hendrick

I just got home, I guess I missed it? So $1mill to Hendrick for the vert? Damn he baught the C7 coupe last time for a mill.

Was for charity as well I'm guessing?

Yes. And he gets the first vert to come off the line. The one they used to at the auction was a prototype I think they called it.

It's a steal.

 

[Fazerfan]

Damn, its cheap as butter!

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I meant it's a steal compared to the equal Porsche etc.

I think its very cheap, didnt remember that cars in US was that cheap,

It's about the same price as the base C6 Corvette. That is one the the selling points of Vette, it's an a affordable sports car.

 

[Rykon Zero]

It even seems pretty good quality too, this actually seems like a great deal. Don't know about the quality of the interior though, and I think that was the major downside to the previous Corvette.

 

[sumbrownkid]

I suggest the goons at Top Gear make the Stingray the new reasonably priced car.

I think you misinterpret their idea of "reasonably priced", by at least $30,000

 

[BOOMBOOM669]

Why is it not customisable on GT5?

 

[RACECAR]

Does anyone know when exactly the car will go on sell? I keep reading "Third Quarter", but I have no idea what that means.

Third quarter=June-September

[ND4SPD]

Dear god. I'm seriously considering paying off what I have left on the C6 then using it as a downpayment for a C7 now....

If you're actually buying one, wait for the 8 speed.

 

[sumbrownkid]

8 speed manual? That's crazy.

 

[Slash]

That would get annoying to shift

Is it actually going to be a normal manual gearbox?

 

[Slash]

Think so.

Might be a slap shifter, I don't think they said it will be auto IIRC.

Might be a forced sportomatic if you get what I mean.

The C6 gen. was actually a good step in the right direction if you ever had a chance to see the previous 2 generations.

8 speed manual? That's crazy.

Very doubtful.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

the 8 speed will be an automatic/paddle shift..but it wasnt ready yet
the manual is a 7 speed
